Ribbon Program

The Origins Ribbon Program is a great way to play in an area for one price for the whole show! Purchasing a ribbon allows you unlimited play in events or areas covered by the associated ribbon. You can also get tickets to associated events at no cost. The registration system will automatically discount your event tickets if you purchase the ribbon first then add associated events to it. Seating for ribbon events are prioritized as follows. 1. Ticket holders (this includes $0 event tickets purchased with a ribbon), 2. Attendees with ribbons (do not need generics or tickets), 3. Attendees with generics.

Event Tickets and Generics

Event Tickets – An attendee must have a badge to purchase event tickets. Refunds or exchanges for event tickets will only be issued if the event is cancelled (the event ticket MUST be punched by the applicable Area Manager at the event HQ to receive this refund).Generics – Generics can be used to get into events with open spots (ticket holders and attendees with ribbons will be seated first). Unused generics can be returned to the Cash Generics counter for a refund by 4pm Sunday. Generics cannot be purchased by attendees with the Family Day Pass wristband.
